JESSE MICHAEL CIFOLILLI
FOREVER 27
"My Jesse... a warm and caring son, brother, and Daddy. I miss you more than words can express. I wish you could be here to see your amazing daughter. You would be so proud." These words from Jesse's mother reveal the profound love and heartbreak of a mother who carries his memory with her every single day.
Jesse Michael Cifolilli was a man with a heart full of love and a soul that burned bright, even in the face of immense struggle. He was a devoted father, a cherished son, and a beloved brother who brought warmth and joy to his family. Jesse’s love for his daughter was immeasurable, and though he’s no longer here to watch her grow, his spirit lives on in her and the memories they shared.
"Some days I drown in memories," his mother writes, her words holding the weight of a lifetime of love and loss. She remembers the Jesse who was vibrant and full of life—the son who brought so much happiness into the world before addiction cast its shadow. She remembers the tenderness, the laughter, and the love that defined him, even through the hardest of times.
Jesse’s mother carries the ache of wishing she could have helped him fight harder, but she also carries the unbreakable bond they shared. "I still talk to you," she says, a reminder that love does not end with loss.
Jesse’s legacy is one of love—a father’s love for his daughter, a son’s love for his family, and the enduring love his family holds for him. His absence is deeply felt, but his memory is alive in the hearts of those who knew him.
"Dear Jesse... Mom will love you forever."
